    Ah. It used to be just someone that would say something so inflammatory or provoking that it would force interaction or responses from the people witnessing it.

    Like an obvious joke or quote of an earworm that it creates replies. Or sometimes something rude or just wrong on purpose. Modern bad actors adopting trolling tactics is not necessarily the same thing.

    You could say trolls are like onions, they have multiple coatings.

    I thought it would be a legitimate niche forum for sharing information. And reddit leaned further into trolling and bad behaviour.

    A systems purpose is what it does and this platform has not shown much outside of being a place for fights and self held superiority stroking.

    TL; DR I am mostly here for news links and B-Movie-Bananza cause it has some good recommendations. Not to interact or pretend this is more than the sum of its parts.
    Also the top communities are memes mostly so, yes? Is not jokes a minor form of trolling?






  • You have clearly never seen Order of the Black Eagle where a man gets his face run over as a stunt gone wrong. It’s low budget and they weren’t trying.

    Idiots will hurt themselves doing stunts for cheap too without the prestige. The “Big” stunts are actually usually safer as they have more people knowing what they are doing.

    Maybe we can just still give them the awards for putting their bodies on the line anyways for film making a thing that isn’t going to stop.
